CSN analyst Kendall Gill off the air for rest of Bulls season

Comcast SportsNet Chicago Bulls analyst Kendall Gill is off the air for the rest of the Bulls season after a newsroom altercation Tuesday with Big Ten Network analyst Tim Doyle, CSN has confirmed.

Late this afternoon, after CBS reported the news, citing "various reports," CSN released this statement:

"We have made a decision to not have Kendall Gill appear on our air for the remainder of the Bulls season. We will re-evaluate our current position on this matter during the off-season."

Mr. Gill earlier this week was removed from his on-air duties pending a network investigation into the altercation, which unfolded in front of me in the CSN newsroom after the taping of Tuesday's edition of "Sports Talk Live."

Mr. Gill, a contract employee of CSN, confronted Mr. Doyle over critical comments he had made on the air about Mr. Gill's analysis of the controversial final moments of Monday's Bulls-Denver Nuggets game.

Former Bull Sidney Green filled in for Mr. Gill on yesterday's Bulls pregame and postgame live shows on CSN.
